Is there no sticker under the bonnet in the engine compartment?

So from the factory they have VW508/509, (since before the WLTP/ RDE was introduced, this is what VW Group changed to.)

so that is 0w 20 FS IV.

 

 

 

Then Simples. At a service you could then use the VW 508/509.

Or maybe go to VW 504/507  so 5w 30 FS III,   So Full Synthetic / Long Life if your car is a keeper.

This can be used for fixed servicing or variable flexible with TSI's.

 

& VW502,

so 5w 40 FS can be used for Fixed Servicing, 10,000 miles / 372 days or less between Oil & Filter changes.
